Laura Brinson jscher2000 Based on further research, I believe this is a new way of reporting things like unresponsive scripts and plugins when you have the new e10s feature enabled (this was first 'turned on' for some users in Firefox 48, and more users have it turned on in Firefox 49). E10s separates the browser interface and page content into separate processes. The goal is to make everything run more smoothly but some kinks are still being worked out. Assuming this is related to a script in the page: We have a general support article addressing potential solutions to this issue:. Another common cause of unresponsive script errors on Windows 7-10 is the protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin.
That feature has security benefits, but seems to have serious compatibility issues on some systems. You can disable it using the Add-ons page.
Either:. Ctrl+Shift+a. '3-bar' menu button (or Tools menu) Add-ons In the left column, click Plugins. On the right side, find 'Shockwave Flash' and click the More link. Then uncheck the box for 'Enable Adobe Flash protected mode' and try that for a day to see whether it helps. I also had this problem and disabling Flash's protected mode fixed it.
I do not have the 'Enable Adobe Flash protected mode' choice displayed when I try this. I have this issue. Safe made makes no difference in the time it takes for these slow pages to load. I would rather turn off the notification and just wait instead of having to answer a monotonous pop-up every single time. This issue with the popup 'bar' at the top of the viewing window started immediately when going from 47.0.1 to 49.0.1 Before the upgrade, the page was simply slow and pressing F5 may fix it or not.
This seems to be an issue with slow mickey-mouse websites. Try IMVU forums for a current example. I have this issue. Safe made makes no difference in the time it takes for these slow pages to load.

I thought I would swap out chrome for Firefox over a couple of hours on the same website I normally spend time. Chrome still had the random pauses (due to the regularly slow servers) but there were no errors. None, not even any timeouts, etc. I appreciate any input:) ETA: (Sunday evening) I decided I miss my FireFox:/ so I found the installation program of 47.0.1 64bit and down-graded - YAY I love my FireFox again.
I now experience slight delays on loading some pages on a couple of normally / laggy sites but not the long delay and the error is gone:D. Thank you - FredMcD Add information. I thought there may be a possibility of malware or something so I did a full scan with Malewarebytes and AVG Pro.

Safe made makes no difference The only add-on I use is for shockwave.
I have tried it in safe mode and manually disabled. It makes no difference. Here is the deal to someone trying to recreate the issue. First you have to find a website that is loading so slow, you are on the verge of getting a 504 Timeout error. LoL (good luck finding one) Maybe some super geeks can figure out a way yo simulate one. Idk Anyway over the weekend, forum pages were so erratic and slow I was getting the error.
As stated, I went back to 47.0.1 and all ws well. Today, the IMVU forums are running back like normal and version 49.0.1 is worked fine this morning.
I have gone back to 47 for now hoping for an update. If anyone wants to downgrade temporarily: Download the correct version for your OS Here: If you do this is recommend you read first, Here: I would not recommend going much lower than the 47.n.n versions for security reasons.
I hope this helps as a temporary fix. 'LestatDeLioncourt #answer-922989 said above' I have this issue. Safe made makes no difference The only add-on I use is for shockwave. I have tried it in safe mode and manually disabled.

'FredMcD #answer-918391 said' 'Safe Mode' is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes). If the problem goes away, that tells us one thing. If it does not, that tells us something else. 'FredMcD #answer-923036 said' I've called for more help.

Thanks jscher2000 for the time and effort. The time (energies, etc.) you take for us is very much appreciated:) Given: I have upgraded to the 49.0.1 again.
I have checked the Time-Out for the default wait time and it is already set to 20 so I left alone (guessing 20 seconds & long enough). I did uncheck the Flash Protected Mode as recommended in the referred article. I have also installed the YesScript Extension.
I will report back and let everyone know what seems to help for me. Fingers & Toes Crossed:D. Thanks jscher2000 for the time and effort.

Jscher2000 In the left column, click Plugins. On the right side, find 'Shockwave Flash' and click the More link. Then uncheck the box for 'Enable Adobe Flash protected mode' and try that for a day to see whether it helps.
I have no options like these when clicking the 'More' button. Only choices are Always Activate, ask to Activate, or Never Activate. I have the same problem as others too.
ETA: I restarted in Safe Mode, tried the page that was giving the problem (it was a video), and got the message that the Flash plugin had crashed. Not sure how to fix that.

Do you run that version? In that case, you may need to use the old method, but check out this article first:.

Toolbar Customize. Tool Bar The menus are like any other menus in Windows. I have chosen to render the menus in a blue tint so that they can be seen easily on the web page. Black on gray can be hard to read by someone not perfectly in front of a laptop screen. If you want to change the colors of your menus to match you can use Settings, Control Panel, Display, item: Menu, size:18, (color); Font: Tahoma, size: 8 If you intend to make changes to your Display settings I would suggest that you.
Menus: The menu links above refer to David Tenser's (support.mozilla.org) web page, where you can compare your own menus to the original builtin Firefox menus. Basically same information as in Firefox HELP but shows the structure of the menus at the top.
Most user changes are to the Tools menu, some more in the View menu. One level up from that page is his area to the left of his firefox page, with references to keyboard & mouse shortcuts, tools options, tips & Tricks., Options/Preferences Window.
Item by item help with tools, options preferences., old proposal might not even be Firefox, but compact layout of menus. Some items found in the menus such as Extensions, and Downloads found in the Tools menus have context menus extension, Toggles Menu Bar Display with simple use of ALT key. Does not interfere with other 'Alt+' keyboard shortcuts. Throbber, throbs when there is activity such as reload (F5, or Ctrl+R), but you can use it as a. The button no longer throbs, but the Throbber button extension extended the ability to go directly to your choice of four pages similar to your home page button. Search Bar (Ctrl+K), Firefox's builtin Search Bar (#searchbar) Search Drop Down (left click on icon) Search “Suggestions”(History) based on search history and typed content Search Bar (#searchbar) of Seachbar in previous topic as well because I place it next to menus on the menu bar, and there is a picture of just the builtin (search box) later. Ctrl+K Search, and F6 Next Frame, will both take me to the Search box.

If the location bar ( in IE) appears before the search bar, then F6 would take you to the Location Bar (Ctrl+L) - F6 works same way in IE. The engines within the Search toolbar is customizable using the (Mycroft) at the bottom of the Search Bar drop down.
Or even better use by Malte Kraus, to add your own search engines based on a search form or any other form. Undo Cu t Copy Paste Delete Select All Clear Search History Show Suggestions Search (right click) Once at the Search Bar (Ctrl+K), you can use Ctrl+up/Ctrl+down arrows to switch search engines, or of course you click on the dropdown and scroll through the list. Once at the empty search engine box one can cycle through the previous search entries with Up/Down key or use the drop-down that they bring up. To delete individual previous search use Shift+Del or to clear all history for all engines use right-click then 'Clear Search History'. (directions to move and widen your ). If you are not seeing the search 'suggestions'/history then use Tools, Options, Privacy, x Remember what I enter in forms and the search bar.
Also the search context menu - 'Show Suggestions'. Unfortunately Suggestions/Privacy are mutually exclusive, if you turn off suggestions you can once more see your search history, but only for those generated after turning off suggestions. Show Suggestions sends a query with each character that you type starting with the third character, and Google and Yahoo among some other search engines do show suggestions based on usage of use of their engine. Another method to add a search is to right click within the search box on a page to “Add this search to the searchbar.” or yet another alternative “Add a keyword (bookmark) for this search”, You can add vertical scroll bars to menus, search engines, toolbars, and bookmarks with userChrome.css additions, no need for an extension, see on my firefox.htm page.
